4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch.
If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know.

If alarm_try_to_cancel() requires a retry, then depending on the
priority setting the retry loop might prevent timer callback completion
on RT. Prevent that by waiting for completion on RT, no change for a
non RT kernel.
